Tomorrow starts a special permit sand hill crane Canadian goose hunt. Not sure if the limits 1 or 2 cranes and 2 or 3 geese.
Hunter and his wife stopped by Mom's house tonight with a nice basket of goodies. Told him were the cranes were, he got one last year and 2 geese. Season only last thru Monday.

We have an early goose season in Sept down here too.

There are lots of them now as many have not been leaving in spring and staying around to nest.

To properly prepare crane you sloiwly roast them using a 2x4 for stuffing after several hours with frequent basting-through the crane away and eat the board. I think you'd have to haul out the slow cooker for one of them. They nest out in our bush meadows up here. The funniest thing was when Ty was about 5 -we had three whopping cranes on our place. Well took the kids out to see them and Ty said "Dad shoot one". I explained that there were only about 50 left in the world. His re[ply " Shoot it we might not get another chance lol."
